Healthcare needs vary the world over, and for many people, accessibility is the number one challenge - especially when disaster strikes. International Medical Corps is a large organization, with a current presence in 30 countries and a staff of about 8,000. While most of their team is local to each country, the emergency response unit is comprised of just 20 people, each with expertise in a certain field – including logistics. In this episode of Logistics with Purpose, Ronny Elfassy, Deputy Director, Emergency Response Operations at International Medical Corps, joins hosts Enrique Alvarez and Kristi Porter to discuss his field experience and the important role that logistics plays in their disaster response operations.Additional Links & Resources:Learn more about Logistics with Purpose: https://supplychainnow.com/program/logistics-with-purposeLearn more about Vector Global Logistics: https://vectorgl.com/Subscribe to Logistics with Purpose: https://logistics-with-purpose.captivate.fm/listenThis episode was hosted by Enrique Alvarez and Kristi Porter.
